Howie B remixes Jog Yer Bones

“A gorgeous fusion of continents and styles.  I was very happy to add my hand“ – Howie B

Shooglenifty has partnered with an old friend from the band’s early days to deliver an exciting new remix of the track Jog Yer Bones, from their 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 album Written in Water.

Released to celebrate their Edinburgh International Festival appearance on 9 August 2019 (Royal Lyceum Theatre), the remix came about after the band’s drummer James Mackintosh connected with Howie B earlier this year.

Howie loved the vibe on the band’s collaborative album with the Rajasthani supergroup Dhun Dhora, released to great acclaim (and a spot in Mojo’s Top Ten Folk Albums of 2018) last November. So much so, he quickly agreed to work his magic on Jog Yer Bones.

“Having loved and admired his amazing work in various guises over the years, I was totally delighted that my old pal the brilliant and maverick producer Howie B accepted the Shoogle challenge to remix Jog Your Bones, particularly as it wasn’t recorded in concert pitch (it’s tuned down 3/4 of a tone to suit Rajasthani singer Dayam Khan). This didn’t phase Howie one bit:  he chose some choice elements, sprinkled some 5/4 synth squelch groove, a fluffy cloud or two, and created a beautiful hypnofolkadlic funky mantra for the Shooglesphere.” – James Mackintosh

The single (with album version as ‘B’ side) was released on 2 August 2019.
